When our youth RISE, we all RISE.

Our RISE Youth Initiative is rooted in the belief that every child deserves the chance to thrive regardless of their financial situation. Our mission is to remove the barriers that stand between youth and opportunity, ensuring all children have access to the support they need to grow, learn, and succeed.

We provide direct financial assistance to families and caregivers, helping cover the costs of:

    •    Before and after-school care

    •    Summer camps and extracurricular activities

    •    Tutoring, lessons, and academic enrichment

    •    Scholarships for educational and personal growth opportunities

    •    Food, clothing, school supplies, and essentials

    •    Medical needs, including bills and prescriptions

    •    Eviction prevention and emergency housing assistance

Whether it’s helping a child stay in their home, giving them the tools they need to succeed in school, or opening the door to new experiences, RISE Youth Initiative is committed to uplifting youth and families in moments of both need and opportunity.

We partner with schools, service providers, and community organizations to make sure no child is held back by financial hardship because when our youth rise, we all RISE.
